Abstract
Effective relief for at-will employees can only be achieved through statutory reform. Although specific legislation has been proposed on the federal 4 and state levels, 5 none of these bills have been sufficiently comprehensive to provide optimal relief. Moreover, those commentators who have called for a statutory remedy have failed to explain precisely what the mechanism for dispute resolution should be, or how it should operate. 6 This Note, therefore, proposes a model statute utilizing mediation-arbitration to provide consistent, informal, and economical protection for at-will employees. Part I explores the development of the at-will rule and the deficiencies of current judicial reforms. Part II sets forth the proposed Act. Accompanying each section is commentary designed to elucidate the intent and meaning of specific provisions.
